AUSTIN — Texas men's basketball coach Rick Barnes reiterated this week that he thinks accepting a bid to the third-tier College Basketball Invitational was the right move for what is statistically the youngest team in America.

But that doesn't mean he wants to make a habit of it.

“I don't want to be in this situation again in any way, shape or form,” Barnes said.

The Longhorns (16-17) play at Houston in the first-round of the 16-team tournament at 8 tonight.
